Seeing Luo Tian's arrogance, Han Bing was not to be outdone: "Okay, I will listen to you. I will definitely take down these two Huangtian stones soon!" Han Bing also wanted to say that they were digging stones, but finally swallowed them.
, temporarily agreed with Luo Tian's statement, but he was still worried in his heart. He couldn't be sure just by looking at it.
The two of them wrote down the numbers and started spinning again. Now there is only an hour left before the official auction. If you want to make a huge profit, you need to work harder. Luo Tianhe shuttled among the crowd, his eyes were never idle, waiting for him to see
A green stone bottle, he stopped, and Han Bing, who was following him, was caught off guard and bumped into Luo Tian's back. He took a step back, followed Luo Tian's eyes, and murmured:
"turquoise?"
"Wrong, it's malachite." Luo Tian said seriously.
"Isn't it turquoise?" Han Bing was shocked today. He came closer and took a closer look. His face turned red: "It's really malachite. The color of turquoise is blue with green. This stone vase is
Green is the most pure and intense one.”
"As expected of an expert."
Han Bing was a little depressed: "If you are an expert, you won't make mistakes at first glance."
Malachite is an alteration product of copper-containing carbon salts, often used as an associated product of copper mines. Its hardness is 3.5-4, it is opaque dark green, and has striped patterns of various colors - this unique
Its beauty is unmatched by any other gemstone, so there are almost no counterfeits.
Green striped glass is used to imitate malachite. The main difference is that the stripes of the glass are short and the width is unstable. The glass does not have silky luster and has a shell-shaped fracture. There may be bubbles in the glass, which is less dense than malachite.
Counterfeiting can only deceive people who don't know the ropes, and merchants or collectors who have been in the jade business for a long time can recognize it at a glance.
In ancient China, malachite was called "green green", "stone green" or "qinglang". Malachite got such a beautiful name because its color resembles the green spots on peacock feathers. Although there is a "stone" in the name, malachite
But it is almost as hard as a stone. The toughness of 10 skirts of phlegm milk is poor. It is not 4 fat, so it is easy to break.
"This is also what we are fighting for." Luo Tianchong and Han Bing said in a low voice: "This is not an ordinary malachite decorative stone bottle, it is an antique."
"Ancient..." Han Bing covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "You said this malachite bottle is an antique? If this is true, its value has more than doubled or tripled."
"Of course, you trust my view of antiques, don't you?" Luo Tian said confidently: "There is a history of the use of malachite in ancient China. Ancient blue-green was the subject of many literati. Du Fu once said:
There is fine smoke in the cave of the master's house, and the guests are the summer slaves and the slaves. Qiu Zhaoao also said: Qinglang is greener than the bamboo mat...?br/
Han Bing frowned and interrupted Luo Tian: "Stop, stop, first tell me which dynasty the malachite bottle is from, okay?"
"It's from the Tang Dynasty." Luo Tian said with certainty: "The stone carvings of the Tang Dynasty were greatly influenced by religion. Look at the head of this malachite bottle, which is a Buddha's head and the patterns on it. It's solemn and majestic.
These are all in line with the characteristics of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and there is a clear difference between modern craftsmanship and ancient craftsmanship..."
Han Bing felt dizzy after hearing this. He shook his head: "Okay, I understand. Just be sure. I'll write down the number first."
Luo Tian was halfway through his talk and was getting excited when he saw that Han Bing didn't listen. He felt a little depressed. When he saw the stone bottle for the first time, he saw the numbers that emerged. This was not only a stone bottle from the Tang Dynasty, but also a stone bottle from the Tang Dynasty.
First of all, it is imperative to take down this bottle.
The two pieces of yellow field jade just now are a set, numbered six, and the malachite is nine. Watch Han Bing write it down, and Luo Tian looks at the time. There is still more than half an hour, enough for another round, and gold mining in the sand is about the same.
Like this, the two were about to turn to the right when they suddenly heard a noise. It turned out that a bidder did not follow the rules and forcibly went up to use a magnifying glass to check the texture of the stone and tried to touch it with his hands. Two security personnel went up to stop him.
This caused a big backlash from that person, and the three of them got entangled together. Luo Tian remembered that the notice clearly stated that violators would lose the opportunity to bid.
Sure enough, the two security guards, who were more numerous after all, held down the person who violated the rules and dragged him out. The person kept shouting: "You are breaking the rules, I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
Regardless of whether he accepted it or not, he was dragged out anyway. Zhang Shanshui stood next to Luo Tian with his hands behind his back: "This is the crazy stone man who is famous in the strange stone circle. His surname is Shi and he loves stones. When he sees a stone he likes, he can't wait to see it immediately.
If we move back home, it will be difficult for him to participate in an auction like this where he can only look at but not touch!"
Madman Shi and Luo Tian laughed: "This madman is really crazy."
"His ability to appreciate strange stones is actually first-class." Zhang Shanshui said with some regret: "Unfortunately, he can't control his behavior. I heard that his family life is not happy. He divorced his wife and lives alone with a son.
, his son is sixteen or seventeen years old, he is also in puberty, and he is disobedient, and he has no time to take care of him. He goes to work during work hours, and after work, he holds a stone and studies it. I heard that he stole a piece of his soapstone last time and sold it.
Just to go online, Madman Shi looked everywhere like crazy, but his son couldn’t remember who he was selling to. Alas, Madman Shi didn’t eat for a whole day because of this.”
Comparing the before and after, Luo Tian immediately felt guilty. Who had he sold it to? Isn't this the chicken blood stone in his pocket? At that time, he was wondering where a stupid kid got the chicken blood stone, and he knew that the stone could be sold for money. In this way, it was completely
It makes sense, "Teacher Zhang, where does this madman Shi live?"
"It's in your city. He is still an employee of the company and lives in the house of the company." Zhang Shanshui sighed: "Speaking of which, Madman Shi and I entered the strange stone circle at the same time. We are of the same generation.
, I really didn’t expect that he would end up like this.”
A staff member ran over and asked Zhang Shanshui to come over respectfully. Luo Tian and Han Bing were not seen at all. Luo Tian disagreed. Before you became famous, no one took you seriously. This is true no matter where you are.
, looking at the direction where Madman Shi was dragged out, Luo Tian felt a little depressed. If you knew this was the case, you shouldn't have collected the chicken blood stone in the first place, let alone used it to engrave a seal. It's too late to say anything now.
.
"Luo Tian, what are you thinking about?" Han Bing looked at the time nervously: "Let's hurry up, the auction is about to start."
